It’s time to get your car in tip-top condition, here's our step-by-step guide on how to clean the interior of your car.

We’ve already shown you how to clean the exterior of your car with a high pressure washer. Today we’re sharing a step-by-step guide on how to clean the interior of your car.

We recommend using the Nilfisk premium car kit along with a Wet&Dry vacuum for best results.

1. Clear out any rubbish

Have a good tidy up inside your car, making sure there is no rubbish, loose change or other items which you don’t want to end up inside your vacuum cleaner.

Don’t forget to check between and underneath the seats.

2. Remove & clean floor mats

Remove all car mats, this way you can really clean all the dirt from underneath, as well as a deep clean of the mat itself.

First of all, whack the car mats against a hard surface to remove dust. Then vacuum the mats, the turbo nozzle accessory is perfect for this, with its rotating brushes which loosen up the dirt while you vacuum.

If your mats are really dirty, you may need to wash them with soapy water to help take off worn in dirt. Vacuum them with your Wet&Dry to get most of the water and dirt out and let them air dry.

3. Vacuum floor & seats

Use either a standard vacuum cleaner or better, a Wet&Dry machine with even more power and accessories adapted for car cleaning.

Start by vacuuming your seats with an upholstery nozzle, so any dirt which ends up on the floor can be picked up afterwards.

Then, use a crevice nozzle which makes it much easier to vacuum right down in-between and underneath the seats.

4. Clean your dashboard

Before dusting, we recommend giving plastic surfaces and air vents a vacuum too – use a soft brush accessory on your machine, to ensure you don’t damage these sensitive areas.

Then with a microfibre cloth and detergent, wipe down the dashboard, steering wheel, gearstick, centre console and any other plastic surfaces in your car.

5. Wipe down your windows

Use one or two microfibre towels and glass cleaner to clean your interior car windows and mirrors.

Work in small areas, spraying the detergent onto the glass and wiping away quickly before it dries.

Follow up if needed with a dry microfibre towel for a streak-free result.
